Destination: Conservation Update

Mme Hamilton (Grade 3/4 FI teacher) and I are doing the "Destination:  Conservation" environmental club at École Victoria School this year and, for that reason, I just wanted to highlight some events happening in Saskatoon next weekend for World Rivers Day.

On Sunday, September 30th, you may be interested in accompanying your child(ren) to any of the following:

River Landing Hike:    Join Girl Guides Saskatoon for their public hike along River Landing. This hike will stop at River Landing as well as possibly make it to the Water Treatment Plant. Enjoy the beauty of the South Saskatchewan River in this interpretive hike and learn about Girl Guides too. The walk runs from 1pm until 3pm. Please arrive at Friendship Park at 12:30pm to pre-register.

Who/What’s in our River: Greg Fenty from the Saskatoon Zoo Society will be in the park giving you the scoop of what special organisms live in our river! There will also be an interactive biological artifacts display. Great for kids!

Friendship Park and River Clean up: Trash Dashers Saskatoon invites the public to come on down and help keep Friendship Park and our riverbank clean Sunday, September 30th at 3pm. Girl Guides Saskatoon will also be participating in this event.

The Destination: Conservation Environmental Club will be having our second meeting on Wednesday, September 26th at 12:05pm in Mme Hamilton's classroom.  Students of all ages are welcome!
